PHIL'S MISTAKE,

Colonel Trafton, taking advantage, though
rather hesitatingly, of the turn their con-

some wedding-cards just receiYed-to in

On his mind, more or less, for some time
past, but particularly at that period. "Oth-

And Colonel Trafton leaned back in his

Men can seldom be accused of being over

She makes her husba1 nd exchange his

No matter how low the thermometer or
barometer, the poor fellow must doff his
boots on the porch.
Is he wet?
He must stay on the step until he is done

"Have you heard itP' Miriam glanced
up at him with an expression that was
surely pleased surprise. "Well, don't be
astonshed If what you have heard should
chance to come true" she added, with a
light laugh; for she was thinking of little
secret which the colonel had partially con
fided to her, and was wondering now If he
had really told Phil all about it.
The lieutenant asked no more questions
but turned away with beart-sick look up
on his handsome face.
The next day they were all startled and
shocked-all but Mab-when he announced

THE WANTS OF MAN.
BY JOIN QUINCY ADAMS.

"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long"
'Tis not with me exactly so;
But I is so in the song.
My wants are many and, If told,
Would muster many a score;
And were each wish mint of gold,
still should long for more.
What first i want is daily bread
And canyas-backs-an wine
And all the realms Of nature spread
Before me, when dine.
Four courses scarcely can provide
My appetite to quell;
With four choice cooks from France beside,
To dress my dinner well.
What next want, at princely cost,
Is elegant attire
Black sable furs for winters frost.
And silks for summers fire,
And Cashmere shawls, and Brussels lace
NY b0soms front to deck
And diamond rings my hands to grace,
And rubics for my neck.
